Aditi Munshi Biography
Aditi Munshi is an Indian singer, vocal artist, songwriter, actress and politician from Kolkata known for her work in devotional Kirtan and Bengali music.
Early life and backgroundAditi Debraj Munshi was born on 26 August 1988 in Baguiati, Kolkata, West Bengal. Raised in a large, musically devoted joint family, she was introduced to Kirtan and traditional Bengali puratoni music from a young age. Her parents gave her the first lessons in vocal training and encouraged her to pursue music formally. She completed a bachelor’s degree in Performative Art in Kirtan and went on to earn a Master of Arts in Kirtan in 2011 from Rabindra Bharati University.
During her formative years she studied with a sequence of teachers and mentors who shaped her Kirtan and puratoni repertoire. She also trained in instruments, learning the tabla and khol, and developed a performance style rooted in devotional practice and classical discipline.
Career
Munshi began performing publicly in 2010 at an All India Merit Contest; her early work drew praise from notable figures in West Bengal. In 2012 she was recognised by Akashvani as a Sangeet Shilpi. Her nationwide visibility expanded after appearing on the Zee Bangla singing show Sa-Re-Ga-Ma-Pa in 2015, where audiences bestowed her with popular titles reflecting her devotional singing.
As a recording and live artist, she has combined traditional Kirtan with contemporary playback work for Bengali films and television. Her voice appears on songs for films such as Tushangni (2019), Gotra (2019), Kathamrita (2022) and Bismillah (2022); the soundtrack of Bismillah was later nominated for a Filmfare Award. Munshi released independent devotional and Kirtan recordings through her YouTube channel and on Spotify during 2024 and 2025, composing, recording and sharing material rooted in Hindu devotional traditions.
In 2016 she received the Sangeet Samman award from the Chief Minister of West Bengal, and in 2018 she was given the title Kirtan Samragee by the Shree Chaitanya Institute of Vaishnavite Culture. She has been active as a live performer at festivals and events, and in October 2025 served as lead singer for a Durga Puja theme song composed for the Chetla Agrani Club.
Beyond performance, Munshi established institutions to pass on musical knowledge. In 2022 she founded Sangitam Musical House Private Limited, a music education organization that produces albums and teaches students of all ages. That same year the Sangitam Cultural Academy was launched to provide systematic training under the guidance of Pandit Ajoy Chakravarty.
Political life
Munshi entered active politics in 2021 when she joined the Trinamool Congress ahead of the West Bengal Legislative Assembly election. She contested the Rajarhat Gopalpur constituency and won, receiving 87,650 votes—about 49 percent of the vote share—and served as a legislator beginning in May 2021. She contested the same seat again in the 2026 assembly elections but lost the constituency to her opponent.
